These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein, for example.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0046] When the heat pump compressor is running, the surface temperature of the evaporator is low. When the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator coil is lower than the air dew point and freezing point at the same time, frost will form. Frosting of the evaporator will reduce the air flow and heat exchange efficiency, thereby reducing the operating efficiency of the heat pump. Therefore, the heat pump needs to be defrosted.

[0047] As described in the background technology, in the defrosting control method of existing heat pumps, such as air source heat pumps, only the influence of the surface temperature of the evaporator and the operation time of the heat pump unit on the frosting of the evaporator is considered, that is, when the surface temperature of the evaporator coil is lower than a certain set value, the heat pump unit controller starts to record the operation time, and when the operation time reaches a certain set value, the unit is defrosted. In fact, the surface frosting speed of the heat pump evaporator is not only related to the surface temperature of the evaporator, which leads to the non-uniform frosting state of the evaporator when the defrosting conditions are met, and there will be frost-free defrosting and shallow frosting defrosting, which reduces the energy efficiency of the heat pump.

[0048] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical concept of the present application is: determine the defrost time according to the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the environment where the evaporator is located, and when the cumulative running time of the compressor reaches the defrost time and the evaporator temperature meets the preset temperature conditions, control the heat pump to perform the defrost program on the evaporator.

[0049] The technical concept of the present application and how the technical concept of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] In a possible embodiment of the present application, a heat pump defrost control method is provided, which can be applied to a control unit of a heat pump, in particular a control unit of a split air source heat pump. Figure 1 is a flow chart of a heat pump defrosting control method provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0051] S101, detecting the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator, and detecting the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the environment in which the heat pump evaporator is located;

[0052] The surface temperature of the evaporator can be detected by a temperature sensor, and the ambient temperature and relative humidity can be detected by a temperature and humidity sensor installed on one side of the evaporator. If the evaporator is placed outdoors, the weather forecast of the outdoor environment can also be obtained through the Internet, thereby obtaining the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the environment where the heat pump evaporator is located.

[0053] Optionally, detect the heat pump evaporator surface temperature, including:

[0054] If the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator is less than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, the duration of the low temperature of the heat pump evaporator is recorded. The duration of the low temperature is the duration of the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator being less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold. The first preset temperature threshold is lower than the air dew point temperature and the freezing point temperature. When the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator is less than or equal to the first preset temperature threshold, the surface of the evaporator may be frosted. In this embodiment, the first preset temperature threshold may be -2°C.

[0055] S102, determining the defrosting time according to the ambient temperature and relative humidity;

[0056] According to the inventor's experiments, the ambient temperature and relative humidity affect the frost formation speed on the surface of the heat pump evaporator, not just the evaporator surface temperature:

[0057] ①According to the actual test data, when the ambient temperature is greater than 5℃, frosting can be ignored;

[0058] ② When the relative humidity is greater than 75% and the ambient temperature is less than or equal to 5°C, the time required for defrosting to reach the necessary level (the unit performance shows obvious attenuation) is linearly related to the ambient temperature. The lower the ambient temperature, the less time is required.

[0059] ③ When the relative humidity is 50%≤≤75% and the ambient temperature is ≤5℃, the time required for the frost level to reach the necessary defrosting (the unit performance shows obvious attenuation) is less than the time required when the relative humidity is greater than 75%, and the unit's operating energy efficiency is improved at a defrosting interval of 1h50min;

[0060] ④ When the relative humidity is less than 50%, the unit will not frost or will always have shallow frost at all ambient temperatures, and there is no need for defrosting.

[0061] For heat pumps of different models, the thickness of frost on the evaporator surface may be different when defrosting is necessary, so the thickness of defrost in their defrost programs may also be different. For a heat pump of a certain model, after determining the defrost thickness of its defrost program, the corresponding relationship between different ambient temperatures, relative humidity and defrost duration can be calculated or determined through experiments to ensure that when the cumulative running time of the compressor reaches the defrost duration, the thickness of frost on the evaporator surface just reaches the defrost thickness of the defrost program, and the corresponding relationship between different ambient temperatures, relative humidity and defrost duration is stored in the storage unit in advance. When the heat pump detects the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the environment where the evaporator is located, the corresponding defrost time can be obtained.

[0062] S103: When the accumulated running time of the compressor reaches the defrosting time and the surface temperature of the evaporator meets the preset temperature condition, control the heat pump to perform a defrosting procedure on the evaporator.

[0063] Optionally, the evaporator surface temperature meets a preset temperature condition, including:

[0064] The low temperature duration reaches the first low temperature duration threshold. When the duration of the evaporator surface temperature below the first preset temperature threshold reaches the first low temperature duration threshold, and the cumulative running time of the compressor reaches the defrosting time of the current ambient temperature and relative humidity, the frost thickness on the evaporator surface reaches the defrosting thickness of the heat pump defrosting program, then the heat pump is controlled to perform the defrosting program on the evaporator. The first low temperature duration threshold can be 1 minute.

[0065] The technical effect of this embodiment is: the defrost time is determined according to the ambient temperature and relative humidity. When the cumulative running time of the compressor reaches the defrost time and the surface temperature of the evaporator meets the preset temperature conditions, the frost thickness on the evaporator surface reaches the defrost thickness of the heat pump defrost program. At this time, executing the defrost program can avoid frost-free defrosting and shallow frost defrosting, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the heat pump.

[0066] In a possible embodiment of the present application, a method for determining the defrost duration according to the ambient temperature and relative humidity is provided. Figure 2 : is a flow chart of a method for determining the defrosting time according to the ambient temperature and relative humidity provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0067] S201, determining the ambient temperature range of the ambient temperature according to the ambient temperature;

[0068] S202: Determine the defrost duration according to the ambient temperature range and relative humidity.

[0069] Optionally, if the ambient temperature is in the defrost ambient temperature range, the greater the relative humidity, the shorter the defrost time.

[0070] In this embodiment, the defrosting environment temperature range may be:

[0071] First defrosting ambient temperature range: first ambient temperature threshold ≤ T ≤ second ambient temperature threshold;

[0072] Second defrosting ambient temperature range: T<first ambient temperature threshold or T>second ambient temperature threshold;

[0073] In this embodiment, T is the ambient temperature. When the relative humidity is the same, the defrost time corresponding to the first defrost ambient temperature interval is less than the defrost time corresponding to the second defrost ambient temperature interval. The first ambient temperature threshold may be -4°C, and the second ambient temperature threshold may be 3°C. The corresponding relationship among the defrost ambient temperature interval, relative humidity, and defrost time may be, for example:

[0074] If the ambient temperature is -4℃≤T≤3℃, and the relative humidity is ≥70%, the defrosting time is 40 minutes;

[0075] If the ambient temperature is -4℃≤T≤3℃, and the relative humidity is less than 70%, the defrosting time is 90 minutes;

[0076] If the ambient temperature T<-4℃ or T>3℃, relative humidity ≥70%, the defrosting time is 90 minutes;

[0077] If the ambient temperature T<-4℃ or T>3℃, relative humidity<70%, the defrosting time is 120min;

[0078] In actual operation, the correspondence between the above-mentioned defrost ambient temperature range, relative humidity and defrost time can be pre-stored in a storage unit. After detecting the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the evaporator environment, the defrost time can be determined according to the defrost ambient temperature range and relative humidity range of the ambient temperature.

[0079] In a possible embodiment of the present application, another heat pump defrost control method is provided. Figure 3 is another heat pump defrosting control method flow chart provided by the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes:

[0080] S301, after the heat pump is powered on for the first time, record the cumulative running time of the heat pump compressor and detect the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator;

[0081] S302, when the accumulated operation time of the heat pump compressor and the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator meet the preset defrosting conditions, control the heat pump to perform a defrosting procedure on the evaporator, and clear the accumulated operation time of the heat pump compressor to zero;

[0082] Optionally, the accumulated operating time of the heat pump compressor and the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator meet the preset defrost conditions, including:

[0083] The cumulative operation time of the heat pump compressor reaches the fifth preset time, and the duration of the heat pump evaporator surface temperature being lower than the second preset temperature threshold reaches the second low temperature duration threshold. In this embodiment, the fifth preset time can be 30 minutes, the second preset temperature threshold can be -2°C, and the second low temperature duration threshold can be 1 minute.

[0084] S303, detecting the surface temperature of the heat pump evaporator, and detecting the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the environment in which the heat pump evaporator is located;

[0085] S304, determining the defrosting time according to the ambient temperature and relative humidity;

[0086] S305: When the accumulated running time of the compressor reaches the defrosting time and the surface temperature of the evaporator meets the preset temperature condition, the heat pump is controlled to perform a defrosting procedure on the evaporator.

[0087] It should be noted that the accumulated operation time of the compressor in S305 is the accumulated operation time of the compressor after the accumulated operation time of the heat pump compressor is cleared to zero in step S302.
